convention to be held in Baltimore, Dec.
l3. Their first convention was held in
december, 1885, at Columbus, O., where
twenty-five national and international
trades unions, with n membership of 31G,-
4C0, were represented. They announced
their intention to protect 1.-THE labor
movement of America against the I'M
scrupulous Vaccinations of employers and
pretended labor reformers." In the recent
address they claim sixty trades unions and
OOo,GU0 members, and that "thc assaults
of organized unfair men have been re-
pcllcd trades union principles have been
vindicatcd, the right of trades unions &c
regulate their own affairs has been nc
EnowlCdged, local unions have been
formed in the most remote parts Of this
vast continent, state assemblies and Sta>e
declarations have been founded and devel
opcd." To complete the organization and
make it more effective the Baltimore con-
ventiOn is called, and its avowed object is
''to see to it that the trades and labor
unions Of the country are linked together
i'll one grand brotherhood under the ban
nCr Of Ito American Federal ion Of Labor"
And to the request for this somewhat OK
tcnSivc piece Of work 0re signed the names
of Samuel Gompers, president; George
H0rris, first vice president; James W.

Samuel Gompers is a native of London,
England, and was born in 1850 HIS IA.
| rents were natives Of Holland. The elder
Gompers was cigar maker by trade, and
Samuel was early instructed in the mys-
tcrics of that occupation, beginning work
! at the bench at the age of 10. He came
to America in 1863, first taking up his
abode i'll New York, and in 1866 joining
the Cigarmakcrs' union. For seventeen
years now he has been delegate to every

The first clew came from Cen. Patrick
II. Jones, ex-postmaster of New York,
who had received from Canada n letter
with 500 bill inclosed as lis retainer,
asking him to act as attorney for the rob
bers in negotiating for the return of the
body Soon after they sent Tic coffin plate
and other evidences that they had the
body. In the letter they detailed how
they had taken it TO Canada ard ARRANGED

timaluT-.,"00,O 600 TO be paid for the
body; the change to be made within
twenty five miles &C Montreal, and no one
to meet tho robbers but Judge Hilton ana
Mr. Jones.
The judge fatty refused to pay anything
except for the arrest of the robbers, They
finally reduced their demand to G100 600,
and thea opened negotiations with Mrs.
Stewart. Tho poor lady was long in an
agony OF doubt and distress, and would
gladly have raid the amount. but tho2e
acting for her stood firm till tho robbers
reduced their demand to SEQ. coo. And on
these terms, says Mr. Wclling, tho ro-
mains were recovered, and in this manner:
The robbers stipulated that the mesSen-

The Federation of Labor and the Chicago
Detection from the knights of Labor.

In the natural course OF events the
Knights CT Labor have run against the
great difficulty which all such organiza-
tons soon or late encounter. When they
grow large enough TO make their power
important TWO factions form: one for using
that power wherever practicable, the other
for moderation and caution, and with all
this comes the struggle for the Offices and
the jealousy Of those who succeed. Master
Workman Powderly began as q radical;
power has made him conservative, and
there is secession from the order.
AS the knights of Labor within
the last year have lost some 100000
members, the American Federation of
Labor has gained about as fast. The now
order proposes n sort of confederate gov
ernment-eGch trades union is to retain
its separate local sovereignty, only advised

would echo from the church tower-loud
enough to alarm the village. Such is the
remarkable story told by ex-Chief Wall
ing and yet the incredulous have their
doubts; and few boldly assert that the
men who met the lad never had the bones
Of Stewart, but merely took advantage of
the theft to perpetrate fraud.

Why Is 1t?

Memories sacred to every Missourian
cluster around her state capital. In all
the ages there has been found no state
officer so sacrilegious or so barbarous
as to even think of its dispoillation.
Yet these officers serve long terms,
know the city and know its people
Why then, in the absence of petitions
or other manifestations from the people
of their dissatisfaction with the location
of the permanent seat Of government,
should any seventy-day sojourn find
faul.? In other words, when not III
structcd and when not petitioned by
their constituencies, why Is it. that
members will pretend to seriously con-
slider the absolute destruction of tw
million dollars of state property here,
and the entailment upon the state oi
Missouri of a bonded Indebtedness OF
ten millions of dollars to secure the
erection of new ~eapitol, and its adj
iuncts, governors mansion, su-
preme court building and state
armory. Perish the thought that a

The st. Louis Reunion.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 27.-Rain has
been falling almost without intermis-
sion throughout the day, and tonight
the down-pour .is akin to deluge,
and the streets are turning into min
iature rivers. 1t is the first wet spell
that st Louis has experienced since
early spring, and Jupiter Pluvius is
getting in his work in fne style. AS
result the prevailing condition is
one Of general demorolization. Fully
one hundred thousand strangers are
in the city, and they bave perched
themselves like behring's into the lob
bies of the hotels, the foyers Of the
theaters, cigar stores and saloons, es-
pecially the latter. Thousands Of
them are glad to secure a nights
shelter mics away from the centre
of the city, and thousands more With
many women among them have no
place to lay their heads. The hun
dreds of tents that had been pitched
in the suburban parks have been rem
dered uninhabitable, and the twenty
or more thousand veterans who had
been assigned to camping-out quarters
have quilted them in disgust and &c
cured accommodations, which, how
ever, could not have been made avail
able for the general public. Alta late
hour the outlook was that the rain
would continue throughout the night,
and the probabilities are that the pa
rade, which was postponed until to-
morrow, will be entirely abandoned.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept 28-The parade
has taken place at last, and such a
parade The rain was pouring down
in torrents, streets running 10 water,
and yet 10000 to 10000 men braved
it oil, and with cheer and song de6ed
the elements, giving an exhibition OF
courage worthy of the badge each
man wore, To put it mildly, it was
silly thing to parade any body Of
men in such weather, and when the
years and inlirmaties Of the veterans
are taken into consideration, IL was
criminal and heavy mortality will
surely follow. Rubber coats, umbrel-
las, blankets and shawls were used to
keep out the beating storm. but only
those in carriages escaped o Wetting.
The crowds which lined the side
walks were good -natured and cnthu-
siastic
Commander in Chief Fairchild,
who rode a magnificent black horse,
upon the neck Of which was hand
some wreath Of roses, was cheered to
the echo, and General Tuttle received
applause whenever recognized Gen.
cral Sherman, who, with Hannibal
Hamlin, rode in q carriage, received
an ovation, For once the festive
drum major was overcome, and a
most pitable object rarely ever greet
ed surging thousands than he with
his dropping plumage and despondent
air. A number Of the departments
had foragors, and as they passed along
with chickens, CO bbages and potatoes
held aloft. bursts Of laughter greeted
them on all sides.

,ir. Blanks Sheep--He Didn't
Take a Paper, but Perhaps
He Will Some Day.

Mr. Blank Blank, of-township,
Armstrong cunnty, is a farmer who
does not take county paper. He is
therefore not as we'll posted on the
events of the day as be might be.
His ignorance has gotten him into
trouble.
The other day be was out in the
corn field cutting of corn when he OBJ
served a stranger ride up to the fence,
dismount, and then come over to-
wards the place where he was work
ing.
Good morning, SIR" said the
stranger, as he came up. Hard at
work | see. Well, its nice weather
for the farmers isn't it,"
Il low it is" responded Mr. Blank
and then be eyed the stranger rather
uspiciously. Strangers were scarce
in township.
Il want to show YOU some speci-
mems of fine sheep" began the stran-
ger, unfolding an album in which
were some handsome photographs of
tie mutton tribe. Here are the
photographs OF our stock" he contin-
ued. Just look at that, will you 2"
and the next moment was edmiring
fine picture.
The unsuspecting Mr.. Blank, who
never reads the papers, finally select
ed one of the lot, and was, upon the
representation of the stranger that
the sheep, from which the photo
graph was taken, would he shipped
him at once, persuaded to make a
purchase. lie was to pay S25 for it,
and the stranger wanted $40 upon
the purchase in order that the stock
man who raised it would feel satisfi-
ed to ship it, Mr. Blank paid over
the $40, and The stranger departed.
II is the general opinion in that
neighborhood, that Mr., Blank will
wait long time before his eyes are
blessed with a sight of the sheep
whose photograph looked so well in
the strangers altum.-KlHa'g Free

then operate mainly through School
Directors. making them believe that
a new law obliges them to purchase
